Dance For Camera

Dance for Camera is a great compilation of award winning dance films from across Europe and North America, and I have to say I'm a bit proud of finding it in the Austin Public Library.

I just recently watched my favorite dance on Dance for Camera a second time. "Reines D'un Jour" is for me also the most memorable in the collection - three men and three women roll down grassy hills in the Swiss Alps to playfully dance in interaction with the cows, village folk and gorgeous scenery around them. Directed by Pascal Magnin with choreography by Marie Nespolo and Christine Kungthe, the 26 minute film is flirtatious and sweet and conveys a love of nature, people and folklore.






I believe the Dance For Camera collection was put together by Dance Camera West. Their website is www.dancecamerawest.org, and they have several videos on their media page as well.
